Saving Child Life.

Show comments

THE British people have been making every arrangement for the better protection of child life, and on the 2nd July a large meeting was held at the Guildhall presided over by the Lord Mayor to discuss further measures for child welfare. Her Majesty the Queen herself is deeply interested in the question. Mr. H.A. Fisher deplored the ignorance of mothers in regard to the health of children. The problem depended on having less drink, less vice, better housing, purer milk and better sanitation. "The number of closed windows to be seen in any street of any town at night", said he, "was some measure of the degree of that ignorance." He asked for more maternity centers, more clinics and more health visitors.
